The screen wakes you up properly, and there is always a notification sitting there that turns a ten-second glance into twenty minutes of scrolling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eA clock you can read without picking anything up does not have that problem. This one is built for that single job: a small analogue alarm clock, a painted globe held in a gold-tone wire ring, made to be left on a nightstand and never thought about again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/5894\/7642\/files\/02_bedside_night_lifestyle.jpg?v=1788246142\u0026amp;width=900\" alt=\"The sage green globe desk clock on a wooden nightstand at night, lit by a warm bedside lamp\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:480px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThere are no numbers on the dial\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eThat is deliberate, and it is most of the reason it looks the way it does. In place of numerals there are twelve slim gold batons set around the rim, with a double bar marking the top of the dial. You read it by hand position, the way you read a watch — which is faster than reading digits, and a great deal quieter to have in the corner of your eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eFour hands sit on that dial: hours, minutes, a fine second hand, and a short fourth hand that marks the alarm. All of it sits behind a domed lens, recessed deep inside the front of the sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/5894\/7642\/files\/01_hero_green_studio.jpg?v=1788246142\u0026amp;width=900\" alt=\"The sage green globe clock shown whole against a plain background, dial and gold ring stand visible\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:440px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe globe tilts in its cradle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eThe ball is not fixed to the base. It is held between two small screws in the gold-tone wire ring, so you can tip it back to face you when it is sitting low on a nightstand, or tip it forward when it is up on a shelf. Most clocks this size make you find the right shelf height. This one just adjusts to the one you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/5894\/7642\/files\/06_cradle_tilt_detail.jpg?v=1788246142\u0026amp;width=900\" alt=\"Close detail of the gold wire cradle and the pivot screw the globe tilts on\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:480px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;padding:26px;background:#f2f5f9;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:24px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1.9fr);gap:10px 18px;font-size:16px;align-items:start;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eIn the box\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOne clock on its gold-tone wire ring stand\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eBattery\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNot included.

It is a bedside object, not a mantel piece. That is usually exactly what someone wants from a clock that has to share a nightstand with a lamp, a book and a glass of water — but it is worth knowing before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/5894\/7642\/files\/03_held_in_hand_scale.jpg?v=1788246142\u0026amp;width=900\" alt=\"An adult hand holding the sage green globe clock by its gold ring base, showing its true size\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:480px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eWhere it earns its space\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eBedsides, first and mostly — it is the thing that lets the phone charge in another room. Nurseries and guest rooms, where you want the time visible without a glowing display. Study desks, where looking up at a clock is a much smaller interruption than unlocking a phone. And it makes an easy gift for a student, because it is small, useful, good-looking and survives a move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003eStraight answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eIs it actually silent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eIt is sold as a silent, non-ticking clock, and that is what the name says. We would rather be straight with you than oversell it: we have not bench-measured one, and there is no published decibel figure for this movement. What we can tell you is that it is a quartz movement with a second hand. If you need certified silence — a recording space, a nursery where any sound wakes the baby — treat that as unconfirmed rather than promised, and tell us straight away if it is not what you expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eAre the hands luminous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eThe hands and hour markers are polished gold. In every photograph we hold of this clock, across all six colours, there is no luminous paint on them. If reading it in a completely dark room is the reason you are buying, please do not buy it for that. We are confirming this with the supplier and will update this answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eHow does the alarm work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eA fourth, shorter hand on the dial marks the alarm time, and there is a single button on the top of the sphere. It is a simple mechanical bedside alarm — no menus, nothing to program, nothing to charge. Whether it has a snooze is not something we can confirm, so do not count on one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eHow big is it, really?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eSmall enough to hold in one hand, and smaller than the photographs suggest. If you have a specific shelf or a specific gap in mind, message us before you order and we will confirm exact measurements with the supplier rather than guess at them here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eWhich colour should I pick?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eWhite and black disappear into most rooms. Sage green and slate blue are the quiet accents — the slate blue in particular reads more grey than blue in daylight, so pick it as a soft grey rather than a strong colour. Pink and orange are the ones people choose for a child's room, or for a desk they want to enjoy looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eDoes it need winding or charging?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eNeither. It runs on a battery you fit yourself, and there is no cable, no port and no app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zendrop","offers":[{"title":"Green","offer_id":67638656270585,"sku":"DJ45H35OKM","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":67638656303353,"sku":"NG8XMG304O","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":67638656336121,"sku":"2QVQ68FUXE","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slate Blue","offer_id":67638656368889,"sku":"YVWC10I96H","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":67638656401657,"sku":"H3U8U1EZF5","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":67638656434425,"sku":"2NAMYQD2S9","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/1411\/3589\/files\/01_hero_green_studio.jpg?v=1794202321","url":"https:\/\/newboxclub.com\/products\/minimalist-silent-desk-clock-nordic-style-luminous-pointer-alarm-clock-for-kids-students-modern-bedside-decorative-timepiece-for-home-office","provider":"The New Box Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
